Why was NAVITAS ORGANICS ORGANIC CHIA SEEDS NET WT 8 OZ (227g) INGREDIEN… recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Potential contamination with Salmonella.” In plain terms, this recall relates to Salmonella.
Salmonella is a group of bacteria that is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in the United States. Public health authorities note that infections can lead to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, and that young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness. Because it can spread through contaminated food, regulators treat Salmonella findings seriously.

This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact Navitas, LLC. or your local health authority.
